I need some advice on speakers..

I'm selling my Martin Logan Odysseys to try a speaker with a smaller footprint. My room is fairly small 15X18, and I have a glass door on the right side of the room. On speaker will wind up more in the corner than the other due to a hallway.

The speakers I've been thinking about are:

The new Audio Physic Virgo III
The Von Schweikert VR-5
The Merlin VSM-M
The Coincident Super Eclipse
The VMPS monitor speaker the small on with the two 8's.

Avivey, I know there not on your list but i would definetly give a listen to the dunlavy aletha's, I have a room that's similar to yours and i'm getting great results. If you set them up exactly like the manual shows they dissapear completely, I've owned Dunlavy SC4a's, mirge m3si's, schnell B minors; and areial 10 T's; and find the alethas to be best sounding overall. Whatever you do listen to all the speakers you can before you buy.
Best Regards, Chuck,

I'd would go for the VMPS. You won't need a sub with those and the ribbons used with those speakers have no match in its class.

Check out the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's - it is 36 inches high with a 12 inch footprint and delivers bass down to 24 HZ. It is a phenomenal speaker for a room your size - you will not believe the sound they put out. They are beautiful to add to the delight. Check comments on audioreview.com. I have two systems - one with the Odyssey and the other with the RX 20's. They retail for 4400 but can be gotten at a better price new from JC Audio or Sound and Video in Minnesota.

I'm a little worried that the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's haven't had an update in technology for some time it seems.

Is there any information on the drivers and X-overs used.

I STRONGLY recommend the AV Reality Studios. Absolute top of the line drivers with the Scan Speak 7" revelator woofer (If I remeber correctly this woofer has the fastest impulse response of any woofer made in the world).

The Studios have same exact drivers as the Krell $9500 monitors, but with even better crossovers and a unique diffraction baffle. The best part is that this speaker is priced at $2000 new! I have nothing but accolades for this remarkable speaker company.
